Well, number 2 could certainly be broken apart a little bit. Specifically,
I'd list the priorities therein as:
1) Membership in important organizations
2) Promotional literature
3) Paid development work
4) Speaker travel
Number three is important but probably unlikely outside of a bounty/summer of
code thing, due to the heavy costs and legalities involved in employing someone
full time. Number four is usually handled by people's employers, and should be
a fairly rare event. Numbers one and two are most important as they spread
Postgres' credibility with managmement and help people to
explain/advocate/discover Postgres.
I'd also put infrastructure lower than all of those, only because lack of
funds seems not to be the issue there, judging by the number of companies
and individuals who have offered to help out.
